Thanks for the kind comment, I'm also in wingchun. My sihing here, does it much better now. Our Hung Ga butterfly swords set from our lineage and other forms are actually very simple.
@skyphoenix IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE AS I WATCHED ANOTHER SIFU'S PERFORMANCE BUT WAS TO STIFF, TO SOMEONE LOOKING WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND ENERGY MOVEMENT THEY WOULD BE IMPRESSED BUT NOT ME!
@skyphoenix Which is a good thing, because there is no reason (beyond looking cool) to be standing low enough for someone to knee you in the face. As far as making your legs strong, there is this thing called weight training.
Historically, the Butterfly Sword is a uniquely Southern style Chinese Kung Fu weapon because of it's association with Chinese pirates plying the South China Sea. The Butterfly sword was used by the pirates because long sabers was not practical for hand to hand fighting in the tight spaces of a ship. It is highly probable the sword design was inspired by encounters with Western swords such as rapiers and cutlasses used by the Spanish, Dutch & English who appeared there in the 1500s.
Theres another story I heard that its cause chefs used a set of 2 cleavers "wen" "wu" dao. And when something happens and there was a fight it is what they took out to use.
Wait a minute, isn't it 子母雙刀instead of 字母雙刀?
